Surely now is the time to take stock, and realise that Littlehampton has many natural assetes of the sea, river, surrounding countryside and access to the South Downs, and it is these aspects upon which the future of Littlehampton lies, through leisure and tourism.

The surrounding countryside must not be slabbed over and lost forever at a whim. The landscape must be treasured and appreciated.

Before we know it, Littlehampton will engulf Arundel and then become a suburn of Bognor.

The provision of housing is essential, but not at the expense of agricultural land with prime local views, or to the detriment of that which we have already.
